NASA has released a satellite image which reveals a bizarre “thermal anomaly” in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean sparking a wave of conspiracy theories. Usually this indicates fire but the intense heat in this case was in the middle of a deep sea — which begs the question what was causing it? On July 14 last year the space agency’s Suomi NPP satellite pictured a heat detecting image showing a section of South America and the neighbouring ocean. But several hundred miles east of the Brazilian coast, you can see an isolated red dot which indicates an area that is unusually hot and known as a thermal anomaly. Patricia Oliva, a scientist at Universidad Mayor who was previously involved in developing a fire detection system, said: “Obviously a fire isn’t burning in the middle of the ocean.” Scientists were puzzled because there is no volcanic activity and the mystery has generated a spate of conspiracy theories. On his YouTube channel secureteam10, alien hunter Tyler Glockner said: “We don’t know where or what this is? “There is some sort of major heat source coming from below the water.” One viewer theorised: “I bet it’s a Russian or Chinese nuclear submarine leaking.” Another asked: “Could be an underground base?” But scientists now believe there is an explanation.
